Florida Turkey Hunts Between Tampa and Orlando

Our Osceola Turkey hunting facility is located in central Florida between Tampa and Orlando. You can fly into Tampa International or Orlando International airports. You will need to arrange for transportation to the ranch, however, once you arrive transportation at the facility is provided.

 We have been offering quality hunts for over 30 years. Those hunting with Jim have included:

Our season runs from the 3rd Saturday in March through the 3rd Sunday in April. As you can see our season is short so booking earl assures you the best dates. Our terrain is normal Central Florida woodlands, palmetto, swamp lands, and open pastures. During our season one can find hot humid Florida weather, cold and rainy weather, or a combination. The hunts last for 3 days which include food and lodging.

Our hunting is not on a preserve. We do not hunt over bait, behind fences, or use released birds. The hunts are conducted on all private lands and semi guided, a true Osceola Turkey hunt. The elusive Osceola is a sit and wait situation ... don't think you're going to run up on the bird ... he will elude you. Calling is soft and should not be aggressive.

It is suggested that you consider the following regarding Camo: head to toe camo is needed to completely cover you. This means clothing, gloves, masks, hats, and boots as these turkeys have very sharp eyes. Almost any camo colors will work in Florida. We suggest rain gear, Mosquito Head net, mosquito repellant or Therma cells, turkey vest with seat cushion, small flashlight and camera with extra batteries. The only thing you have working for you is they can’t smell, and sometimes I question that.

This is all to make your hunt successful. You will be in a blind on private property in an area of high turkey traffic. I will allow you to hunt by yourself or with a companion after I work with you on the calling to get the exact Osceola traits to your calling. 

Each sub-species of turkeys have their own traits that get them killed. Turkeys have habits and patterns that can make a hunter successful Osceola hunter every time. If you are working on your grand slam you will understand what I am saying and appreciate the education you will get while hunting the sharp eyed native Osceola in Florida.  It is a 3 day hunt. My goal is to have you understand and enjoy hunting this Florida bird more than hunting any of the other four subspecies of Turkey. While you are in the blind I will be able to scout for other flock locations and pattern them in case you are not successful with the first setup.  The complete hunt from the time you hit the lodge door until the time you leave approximately 3 days later you are my guest and the whole thing is only $ 3000 reduced down to only $ 2495.
